whenever a clone in my game makes a variable, it makes account for all copies on screen. ex: if there's one copy on screen, it works as intended, changes the variable by one and deletes the clone, however if 2 clones are present, the first clone changes the variable by 2 instead of one and only one clone deletes it self.

Your link is not working, is your project shared?

around it, with “clone?” being a for-this-sprite-only variable set to one when under “when I start as a clone.”

hey, I've practically given up on trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong, so I moved on and made this, plz tell me how you feel about it

turns out the problem was that I was using a broadcast
